USER GUIDE
ARENA/ RANGER
OVERVIEW
ARENA is a Windows based software package that provides an easy-to-use
graphical interface to monitor and operate HVAC applications applying LonWorks
technology.
A typical application is, for example:
A Commercial building using plant controllers for primary plant control such as air
handling units, heating circuits or boilers
In ARENA, such a running application is also called Site.
Via a LON interface, ARENA provides full access to:
Plant controller data (datapoints, time programs, alarms, application parameters)
Some of the many features available are listed below:
Monitoring and access of HVAC system (district heating, heating and ventilation
plants)
Viewing temperatures and valve positions
Enhanced alarming with history files, reports and statistics
Alarm servicing facilities such as
alarm notifications from remote controllers and/or remote ARENAs
alarm routing to different destinations (email, printer, other ARENAs)
based on time of day and criticality
Providing global time programs for individual overrides with displaying three
months intervals
Schedule Input similar to Microsoft Scheduler
Multi-Site Management with:
Support of connections from a supervisor ARENA to remote sites, where
those remote sites do not require an ARENA installation
Direct connection to up to 4 local sites with up to 4 LON interfaces
Remote sites management with iLON 10
Remote ARENAs with local site(s) management
Remote ARENAs with iLON 10 sites management
Operation depending on individual privilege
Maximum of 100 sites can be managed
Alarming depending on source, condition and target information, alarm
filtering
Manual Alarm Clearence
Trending depending on device, plant and segment
Log data from your HVAC systems
Complete Backup and Restore Functions
Improved Graphic Editor for life graphic with animated pictures and direct
operating links
ARENA is designed to be used on a standard PC. The primary purpose of the
ARENA program, is to gather a wide variety of data and display it to the user in an
easy to understand graphical format for viewing and easy operation.
Should a device be in alarm condition, the ARENA user has only to select the device
in question, to be taken to a screen which will provide more detailed information on
the alarm condition. An Alarm list screen is also available. This screen lists all alarm
incidents and enables the ARENA user to identify, in detail, each controller that
activated an alarm signal. The list also contains the reason for the alarm signal, the
date and time that the alarm condition occured and also the date and time that the
alarm condition was accepted (acknowledged).
Historical data is available from each device, and can be displayed in either text or
graphical format. An example for this is the 24-hour temperature log which provides
detailed information of controller data. This provides documentary evidence that
buildings have been maintained at the correct temperature, and that the BMS
system is running economically. The fact that ARENA stores historical data means
that it is possible to analyze the reasons for alarm conditions over a period of a day,
a week or a month.
EN2Z-0906GE51 R0708
ARENA / RANGER
USER GUIDE
ARENA also offers multi-level password protection to restrict access of unauthorized
users.
All adjustments to system operating parameters are logged by ARENA, together
with users identification. This access restriction provides a very high degree of
system protection against accidental or malicious damage.
ARENA can be equipped with individual graphic data and will be able to display
selected information in a graphical environment. The tool to be used to create
graphic templates and graphic navigations is the ARENA EDITOR.

service. This service is accessible in the system tray and is indicated there as
square service icon
. The actual operating mode of the service is indicated by
different colors of the service icon:
Green = Service is running
Red = Service has stopped
Yellow = service being started or stopped
Via right mouse-click on the service icon, the following basic functions, are available:
NOTE: As long as the service is running, all online changes will be stored to the
ARENA database (e.g. trend data will be collected) even if the ARENA user
interface is not started.

the actual used version of ARENA.
3. After you have read the version information, click OK.
Backup / Restore
Backing up a project copies the ARENA database information in one single file to a
backup directory. Restoring the database retrieves a copy of the database to place it
in the PC. This procedure is useful if the PC files are corrupt or if changes were
made that need to be erased.
Backups and Restores can only be done locally and complete. It is not possible to
backup/restore parts of the ARENA database because large info as trends and
alarms can be deleted from the backup before doing it or after restoring it. Backups
contain the graphic pages too. Backup/Restores via Web are not possible.
Data can be restored from a previously back upped database. If a backup is done
with a previous ARENA 2.xx version, it will be automatically upgraded.
NOTE: This Backup / Restore function restores ARENA data only but not controller
data like time programs and settings.

USER ADMINISTRATION
The user administration is used for creating users and assigning particular user
privileges (roles) to the users. Administration also includes editing and deleting of
users.
Roles and Privileges
A role determines the privileges that the user will have when working with ARENA.
A role with its determining privileges is pre-defined and cannot be changed. User
privileges of a certain user can be changed by assigning another role. In ARENA,
the following role user privileges combinations are assignable to users:
Role
User Privileges
Manager
Service privileges plus:

Creation, edition and deletion of users with lower roles.
Service
Keeper privileges plus:

Changes of datapoint attribute, parameters, network variables and
time programs. Adjustments for installation and scanning. Alarm
acknowledgement. Creation, edition and deletion of users with
lower roles
Keeper
Viewer privileges plus:

Time program changes (incl. setpoints). Alarm acknowledgement.
Creation, edition and deletion of users with lower roles
Viewer
Viewing statistics and reports generation.
As the table shows, the predefined roles are arranged hierarchically and the
sequence with descending priority is as follows:
Manager
Service
Keeper
Viewer
Example:
When assigning the Service` role to a user, a user having a role below Service`,
for example Keeper`, is not able to change datapoint attributes. A user having a
role equal to or higher than Service`, for example Manager` is able to change
datapoint attributes.
The table shows, that the logged user can create, modify and delete users with a
role lower than its own.
User Profile
For each user within a project, a user profile with the following properties will be
created:
User name
Role (User privilege)
Password
Access Restrictions (definable per site local or remote)
A user is identified by its user name.

One of the predefined roles will be appropriately assigned to the user (name). This
assignment automatically determines the user privileges, which the user are allowed
to execute in the ARENA he is logged in. All users having a role higher than or
equal to the assigned role will have this user privilege enabled in ARENA, all others
will not.

USER GUIDE
ARENA/ RANGER
In addition, a password for each user must be issued for secure operation of
ARENA.
Finally, for comfortable remote operation, a user can have an Auto-Logon property
assigned that allows logging into the remote site without entering Login name and
password again.
Login, Information Access and

Password Handling
When entering a site, you must login with user name and password. After logged in,
you will see all information that you have access to, based on your role. When you
click on items that are unavailable due to your role (e.g. when a service user selects
configuration), you are asked for logging in again.
NOTE: Usually, ARENA will not display items/functions that are not available for
the current user role. However, in graphics there may be links that require
a higher user level (in this case, a login is forced). Also, a login is forced
when you enter a direct link to a page in the browser:
You have not to login again, even when going to another site (e.g. to an ARENA
remote site), as long as on that site a user with the same user name and password
exists.
You can change your own password without invoking the User Administration.
IMPORTANT
It is strongly recommended to delete default users or change the default
password of each role since the password reads the same as the
corresponding role.
Invoke User Administration

1. In the tree, select the site, on which you want to administer users, for example to
create new users.
NOTE:
The user administration can only be invoked from users having
privilege level service` or higher.
2. Hover the cursor over the Configuration menu icon

SITE MANAGEMENT
ARENA supports the connection to up to 4 local sites.
Local Site Support
ARENA supports remote sites, which are connected through iLON 10 or through
another remote ARENA. That ARENA is called Supervisor ARENA.
Remote Site Support
Ranger supports remote sites, which are connected through iLON 10 only.
ARENA supports remote sites, which are connected through iLON 10. Only one
ARENA can be connected at the same time to one iLON 10.
iLON 10 Sites via LAN
If a connection between an ARENA and an iLON is established, a second ARENA

cannot connect to the iLON 10. This is indicated by a message.
ARENA / ARENA via Modem *
1
Connection is only possible if an incoming connection is defined beforehand

manually in Windows.
Example:
ARENA A -> ARENA B connection via modem
On ARENA A, configure a remote ARENA B. On ARENA B do nothing.
Expectation is that the user does not need to configure on Arena B explicitly an
incoming connection.
Connection Types
Arena can establish a remote connection either via modem dialing or LAN
connection. ARENA differentiates between these two connection types. Depending
on the infrastructure, ARENA supports opened connections in parallel.
Modem connection
After ARENA restart, ARENA will not automatically establish a connection to a
remote site.
LAN connection
After ARENA restart, ARENA will automatically establish a connection to all
reachable remote sites
CAUTION
Two ARENAs are only allowed to be connected via one connection type,
LAN or modem. That is, it is not allowed to connect two ARENAs to each
other in multiple ways, for example, via LAN and modem.
ARENA 1
LAN
Modem
ARENA 2

ARENA 3
Connect Sites
You can manually connect to a site. The manual connection can be established via
right-click on the site in the site tree.
Disconnect Sites
You can manually disconnect ARENA from a local or remote site and disconnect all
local or remote connections.
Automatic Disconnection of Modem Sites
ARENA supports an automatic disconnect mechanism for sites connect via modem:
After a definable time, ARENA pops up a dialog that asks you if you want to remain
connected. You can decide whether to remain connected for another X minutes or
to disconnect. X is the predefined connection time, which is changeable in the
popup dialog. If you do not react for a defined reaction time (e.g. 60 s), the

37

connection is automatically terminated. Automatic disconnection prevents forgetting
to close a connection. It is used for modem connections only.
NOTE: If a remote site is disconnected, the supervisor ARENA has a time out of
up to 2 minutes before the tree gets refreshed to indicate offline state.
The max. of 100 sites can be arranged in one supervisor ARENA system. In the
following several major site combinations are described briefly:

to store alarms and trend from other sites. When switching to a local site, you will be
automatically connected.
One ARENA per local plus one iLON 10
At the same time, only one ARENA can access an iLON 10 (no parallel access
possible).

Creating New Network Connection procedure.
Remote ARENA via serial modem*
For modem dial-up the Westermo TD33 is supported. The modem connection is
only supported for dial into a remote iLON 10.
CAUTION
Do not switch off or disconnect a modem when operating a modem-connected site.
This causes a malfunction and as a result the need to reboot the PC.
TIP:
Connect PC and modem to the same power supply. In case of a general power
failure, PC and modem will be restarted simultaneously.
User Authentication and Access
on Remote ARENA
Connection to Remote ARENA
through Stand-alone Browser
or Supervisor ARENA
The user is identified by its user name and password. According to the users role,
the user can have defined access to particular functions (viewing, editing, etc.).
A connection to a remote ARENA is possible:

through a browser: Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher
through another ARENA, i.e. Supervisor ARENA
A supervisor ARENA can connect to remote ARENAs via
TCP/IP
ARENA-ARENA Dial-up*

Display remote ARENA within

Supervisor ARENA
When connecting from a Supervisor ARENA, the Supervisor ARENA shows the
Web-front end of the remote ARENA in the same way as if it was locally connected.
The site name is displayed on top of each page, so that you know on which site you
are currently working.
Remote Site Configuration via Browser Remote sites can be configured in the same way as local sites, that is, e.g. it is
possible to:
Change trend settings
Import description files
For detailed information on Internet Explorer settings when using ARENA as client,
please refer to How to operate ARENA / RANGER from a Client PC in the ARENA

Concurrency of Connections
Trigger a remote connection to
Supervisor ARENA
Timeout after Disconnection
A remote ARENA can send out an alarm while a supervisor ARENA has dialed in.
This requires the connection of 2 modems.
A remote ARENA is able to trigger a connection via LAN to a Supervisor ARENEA in
order to send out an alarm.
If the remote site of an ARENA-ARENA via LAN site combination is disconnected,
the supervisor ARENA has a time out of up to 2 minutes before the tree gets
refreshed to indicate offline state.

The configuration of the ILON 10 needs to be done via the Supervisor ARENA. In
order to save the iLON 10 configuration in ARENA it is necessary to be connected to
it.It is sufficient to do one of the following:
send the initial setup to the remote site upon the first dial-in or via a web browser
interface which is accessible on the Supervisor ARENA
configure the iLON 10 gateway device in the office prior to installation using a
software tool
Remote Site Display
Dial out from a remote site

Connecting the Supervisor ARENA via iLON 10 shows the Web front-end of the
remote site in the same way as if the ARENA is locally connected. The site name is
displayed on top of each page, so that you know on which site you are currently
working.
The remote site dials out to a Supervisor ARENA in one of the following events:
a critical alarm has occurred
a uncritical alarm has occurred
a new critical alarm has occurred before elapsed lockout time
After a dial-out, a lockout time elapses (24 h) to prevent high telephone costs
through frequent dial-outs. New dial-outs can only occur after the lockout time has
expired, except if a new critical alarm has occurred.
For each event, the logout time is reset. The lockout-time is synchronized between
controllers.
Dialing iLON 10 Destinations

Alarm Forwarding
iLON 10 only dials-out to one Central Supervisor ARENA

The supervisor ARENA provides an option to forward alarms to different
destinations at different times. Configuration for alarm forwarding, see the Alarm
Forwarding section.
Supervisor ARENA
Monitoring Remote Sites
Handling of incoming Calls by the

Supervisor PC
Authentication of remote sites on supervisor ARENA

When remote sites dial out to a supervisor station, they must provide user name and
password. Connection is only successful if the remote site can be authenticated by
the supervisor ARENA. This is secured for dial out of an ARENA or iLON 10.
The supervisor station accepts incoming connections from at least one remote site
in parallel to the locally connected sites and in parallel to an established dial-in
connection to a remote plant. This means that at least 2 modems can be connected.
This secures, that even if a remote site is dialed-up or connected by LAN, the
Supervisor station is still able to receive alarms from other sites.
NOTE: Only Microsoft XP limits the number of installed modems.
Access to trend / alarm

buffer information
When monitoring remote sites, trend and alarm buffer information can be accessed
by all users. For remote sites with iLON 10 the following information can be
accessed:
Alarm buffer
Trending can be done only while online (life trend)
Trend data upload from sites of a remote ARENA

NOTE:
It is forbidden to use any of the Umlauts , , , , , in site names
because this may result in an unexpected behavior of ARENA.
b. In Site Details, enter optional additional description, e.g. customer name,
address, etc.
3. Under Local Connection, do the following:
a. In Connect through, select the LON interface to be used to establish the
connection. One LON interface card is required per local site and ARENA
supports max. 4 LON interface cards at maximum. If no LON interface is
selectable, then all interfaces are in use, or drivers are missing.
NOTE:
If the Arena PC has multiple ethernet adapters installed and iLON 10 via LAN
is not connected to the default adapter (typically the one on the board), there
is now way in ARENA to define which LAN adapter ARENA should use for
the iLON 10.
Workaround:
Open the "\Service\Runtime.Service.exe.config" file.
In the line <add key="IlonLANInterfaceName" value=""/>
put the name of the LAN interface into the quotations of value` as it is
displayed in the Windows Network Connections dialog.
Example:
<add key="IlonLANInterfaceName" value="Local Area
Connection 2">
This will make ARENA use the Local Area Connection 2` for connections to
the iLON 10.
The entry can stay as it is installed as long as the ARENA PC has only 1 LAN
interface card or as long as there are no problems with iLON 10 LAN
connections.

5. Under Outgoing Connection to Remote Site do the following:

a. Check Enable if you want to use ARENA for dialing-in to a remote site.
b. Uncheck Enable if ARENA is only used for receiving alarms.
Example:
If you have a scenario where one ARENA runs in the office to receive alarms
while another ARENA runs on your notebook which you use only for dialingin, choose the following setup:
Uncheck Enable in the ARENA running in the office, because this is the one
used as alarm recipient. Check Enable in the ARENA, running on your
notebook, because this is the one used only for dialing-in to the remote site.
iLON 10 and incoming connection settings will become read-only in this case.
NOTES:
Only one ARENA can be connected to an iLON 10 on the same site.
You must configure the iLON 10 in the ARENA that is used as alarm
recipient.
When restarting the ARENA Service (see ARENA Application section),
all iLON 10 will be automatically connected, independent of the Enable
setting.
c. Select Static IP if the connection is established using static IP addressing.
d. Select URL (Use this if iLON 10 is configured for DHCP) if dynamic IP
addressing is used by the iLON 10.
e. If Static IP has been selected, enter the IP address in Remote Site URL or
IP Address, the subnet mask in Subnet Mask and the gateway address in
Gateway Address. Make sure that this is a valid IP address which can be
reached from the supervisor ARENA. The default IP address is
192.168.1.222. If you do not know which IP address to use, contact the I.T.
administrator of the remote site (see also Incoming Connection from
Remote Site settings). The subnet mask is used to define the subnet in
which the iLON 10 resides. In the iLON 10 configuration (section "General"),
this setting will be stored as subnet mask. The gateway address is the IP
address of the gateway which iLON 10 uses to contact the supervisor
ARENA. Used in LAN scenarios to resolve addressing if iLON 10 and the
supervisor PC are in different subnets. Contact the I.T. administrator to get
the gateways IP address.
f. If URL (Use this if iLON 10 is configured for DHCP) has been selected,
enter the URL or the IP address in Remote Site URL or IP Address.
6. Under Incoming Connection from Remote Site, do the following:

ALARMS
Overview
Multi Site Alarming Support
Manual Alarm Clearing
Determine Alarm Reason
Link to the Alarm Destination
On a supervisor ARENA, alarms can be collected centrally from all sites.

The user can artificially create a going alarm for a selected coming alarm. If the
user knows for sure that an alarm is gone, he can clear it.
You can navigate directly to the alarm source.
Support of different dialling destinations
It is sufficient that a remote site without ARENA dials to one destination central, a
so-called relay central.
Support of alarm routing for application and system alarms (=point alarms)
The remote site routes system alarms and application alarms to different
destinations. The selection of application alarms is done based on the datapoint
name (=user address). This feature is supported indirectly through a relay ARENA
using the alarm forwarding feature of ARENA. This means: A remote site always
dials out to the same ARENA, regardless of the alarm cause. This ARENA acts as
relay for further alarm segregation.
Alarm Display

NOTE: Both views can be configured separately.
Alarm Handling
When the controller is connected to ARENA, alarms are received automatically as

soon as ARENA is installed or the remote site has been configured correctly using
ARENA's site configuration.
NOTES: Dial-up sites will automatically connect to the supervisor PC in case of a
critical alarm. Alarms from LAN sites can only be received if the LAN site is
connected explicitly. Make sure you connect to a LAN site once it has been
successfully created. After exiting and restarting ARENA, previously
connected LAN sites will be automatically reconnected.
The PANTHER / TIGER controller will always send out critical alarms as
soon as they occur. After alarms have been sent, a "blocking time" of 24
hours becomes active for uncritical alarms. During the blocking time, no
uncritical alarms are sent out. However, if theres a danger of losing alarms
(because the controllers alarm buffer is 80 % full), the uncritical alarm will
be sent. Also, if a connection is established during the blocking time (e.g.
as a result of a critical alarm), the pending uncritical alarms are sent.
PANTHER / TIGER controllers try to send a critical alarm to ARENA
directly after it occurred. If ARENA does not respond, the controller repeats
the connection attempt each 5 minutes for hour. After that, it repeats the
attempt to reach ARENA each 4 hours, for 3 days. If ARENA does not
respond for 3 days, the controller stops its attempt to reach ARENA. It will
restart the attempt only after ARENA successfully dials into the site.
Acknowledging Alarms
ARENA allows the operator to document that he has seen an alarm. This is called
acknowledgement. Acknowledgements can be made by Email (responding to a
forwarded Email), or manually. The person who has made the acknowledgement is
stored with the alarm and displayed in the alarm history. In case of Email
acknowledgements, the senders Email address is an indication for the person who
has made the acknowledgement.
To acknowledge an alarm that has been forwarded by Email, just reply to the alarm
Email (i.e. send it back to ARENA). ARENA will receive the Email via POP3, and will
show the repliers Email address in the acknowledged by field. If an
acknowledgement has successfully been processed by ARENA, it will be deleted
from the mailbox.
To acknowledge alarms manually, click the alarm(s) in the alarm list and click the
Acknowledge button on the Global Alarm List pane.

ALARM FORWARDING
Alarm forwarding is possible to printers, eMail or mobile phone (via eMail), or
service ARENAs. Alarm segregation allows forwarding alarms to different
destinations based on definable criteria such as:
Trigger (information of the alarm itself), such as: Critical / Non-Critical, site on
which the alarm occurred, datapoint names, e.g. all points that start with Heat,
and many more.
Day of week
Time of day
Example:
A local authority supervises schools and kindergartens using an ARENA 2.0 in the
town hall. Usually, a supervisor employed by the city handles alarms from all
connected sites. However, if the supervisor does not acknowledge alarms within 30
minutes, they are being forwarded to external maintenance facilities according to the
following rules:
Only critical alarms are forwarded.
All school alarms go to dedicated service centrals for schools. Based on
weekday and time, different service centrals are used as destination. In the
picture, this forwarding path is represented by gray arrows. In this example, 2
destination centrals are available for schools: one Mo-Fr, 08:00-18:00 and the
other for the rest of the week.
All kindergarten alarms go to dedicated service centrals for kindergartens. Based
on weekday and time, different service centrals are used as destination. In the
picture, this forwarding path is represented by black arrows. In this example, 2
destination centrals are available for kindergartens: one Mo-Fr, 07:00-17:00 and
the other for the rest of the week.
If a forwarded alarm is not acknowledged by the user for longer than 10 minutes
on any of the service centrals, it will be sent to mobile phones via eMail. Different
target phones can be contacted based on the time / day.

Sending Alarms (SMTP)

NOTES:
The SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is preferentially used for
sending/forwarding emails.
To get information about the SMTP settings, go to the web site of the
local ISP, invoke the Help function and search for the required
information. The search and location where the information can be found,
may differ from ISP to ISP. If no information can be found in the Help,
contact the ISP directly.
a. In Server Name or IP, enter the address of the SMTP server (name or IP
address) you want to use to forward alarms e.g. smtp.web.de.
b. In Port, you must change the port used to send/forward emails via SMTP if
your ISP uses another port than the default port 25. Change it accordingly, if
necessary.
NOTE:
It may happen, that an anti-virus software may block the port 25 which is
necessary for sending emails. In this case, you must change the
configuration settings of the anti-virus software in order to allow ARENA
forwarding alarms (see Anti-Virus Software Tools and Ports in the
Security chapter of the ARENA / RANGER Installation Guide, EN1Z0906GE51).
c. Check Server requires authentication and enter User and Password, if
the Email-Server requires authentication.
d. Uncheck Server requires authentication if the Email-Server does not
require authentication
e. Required Authentication protects mailboxes by user name and password.
f. Check SSL, if the SMTP server uses the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)
standard for the data transmission.
Receiving Responses (POP3)
POP3 (Post Office Protocol) is a client/server protocol for the communication
between an email program on an individual user PC and a mail server in the
internet hosting the mailbox of the user by an ISP (internet service provider). Via
POP3, emails will be sent from ISP mailbox to the user PC.
NOTE:
To get information about the POP3 settings, go to the web site of the local ISP,
invoke the Help function and search for the required information. The search
and location where the information can be found may differ from ISP to ISP. If
no information can be found in the Help, contact the ISP directly.

Time Programs
T
Overview
Time programs are for setting time sequences for controller operation. For example,
setting HVAC start and stop times.
Time programs implement these command schedules. A PANTHER / TIGER
controller can have a maximum of 20 time programs.
Each time program specifies a list of points to command and a weekly schedule.
This weekly schedule defines the normal daily activity of the system by specifying
which daily schedule a controller should use for each day of the week (Sunday
through Saturday). The weekly schedule applies for each week of the year. There is
only one weekly schedule per time program.
Daily schedules list points and point actions and times for the controller to
implement. Operators assign daily schedules to weekly schedules or as global
override to provide for automatic operations on scheduled dates.
Yearly schedules define time periods with special daily schedules (global). Yearly
schedules are suited to consider specific local conditions, for example, regional
vacation and public /religious festivals.

Occupied
The controller operates according to the occupied heating and cooling
setpoints.
This is the normal operating condition for a room or zone when it is
occupied. The controller can be switched into this mode by a network
command, by the room occupancy sensor, or by a bypass button on the
wall module. In the occupied mode, the fan is controlled by the setting of
the fan speed switch on the wall module or by the control algorithm when
the switch is set to auto. The fan can be configured to remain on or turn
off during the zero energy band
Unoccupied
The controller operates according to the "unoccupied" heating and
cooling setpoints.
This mode is used for longer unoccupied periods, such as at night or
during weekends and holidays.
Standby
The controller operates according to the "standby" heating and cooling
setpoints.
The standby mode saves energy by reducing heating or cooling demand
during periods where the room is temporarily unoccupied. In this mode
the fan is switched off during the zero energy band.
Check Optimization if you want to apply optimization.
The optimization function causes optimization of a switching point. It has two
states, ON (checked) and OFF (unchecked). The optimization compensates the
time an environment needs to reach a wanted condition (temperature, humidity,
etc.) by bringing forward the switching point of the corresponding device.
NOTE:
The optimization can only be set to ON if the user address of the device is
suitable for optimization.
Example:
If the optimization is ON, a heating plant is switched on early in order to have
your home at the required setpoint level by a particular time.
Programmed switching point: 6:00 to 20 C
Real switching point: 4:52 to heating ON.
The difference between the programmed and real switching point is the
estimated time a room needs to warm up under the current conditions.

TRENDING AND TRENDS

Definition
Trending means to record value changes of selected datapoints and show the
developing of the values for a definable time interval in a chart or table.
Fig. 23. Trend Example

Trend Types
ARENA allows 2 ways of trending:

Historical Trend
The trended datapoint values are retrieved from the ARENA database which can
contain values of all levels (station, site, and controller). In the first step, the
datapoint values are recorded. In the second step, the trended datapoints are
displayed for a definable time interval with a fixed start and end time.
Examples: Time interval = Last 3 Days
Trend data is saved and displayed for the last 3 days after
starting the trend.
Time interval = From 04.04.2007, 12.00 through 04.05.2007,
12.00.
Trend data is saved and displayed for the time range
04.04.2007, 12.00 through 04.05.2007, 12.00.
NOTE: Historical trend is possible on all levels (station, site, controller, etc.) and in
connected and disconnected states of ARENA.
Live Trend
The trend values come live from the controller of the selected site.
119
EN2Z-0906GE51 R0708
ARENA / RANGER
USER GUIDE
You can define a time window (Last xx minutes) and a time range (Stop after yy
hours).
ARENA will automatically displaying the controller values. After the elapse of the
time window, the oldest values will begin disappearing and new values will be added
on.
This will be continued until the time range has elapsed. Thus, you are shown the
actual values for the last xx minutes until yy hours have elapsed.
Example:
Last = 15 minutes, Stop after: 6 hours

Trend data of the latest 15 minutes is continuously saved and
displayed within 1 day after starting the trend.
The values can be saved to the ARENA database for performing a historical trend
later.
NOTE: Live trend is only possible on site level and on levels below and ARENA
must be connected.
Trend Templates
Trend Data Export

Trending and System Performance
Each trend is based on a template which saves the trended datapoints (not the
values) and display settings (display type, time interval). Thus templates allow the
easy reuse of trend settings once defined. ARENA provides two default templates,
the Live trend template for Live trends and the Historic trend template for historical
trends. Before firstly using a default template it contains only the display settings but
no datapoints. New templates can be created.
Trend data can be exported as .CSV file to MS Excel.
Trending increases bus traffic and requires system resources. Hence, for historical
trends, it is recommended to avoid adding more datapoints to trend than absolutely
necessary. For Live trends, it is recommended to avoid storing datapoints in the
database unless absolutely necessary.
Procedures
For both trend types, the basic procedure can be described as:
1. Record Trend Data
Here you select datapoints to be trended. For historical trends, the values of the
selected datapoints are continuously saved in the ARENA database. For Live
trends, the values of the selected datapoints are not saved in the database by
default, but they can be saved during the live trend when Analyzing the Trend
Data in step 2.
2. Analyze Trend Data
Here you do the following:
Select datapoints for display

Configure display
Define time interval and
Start trending
Record Trend Data

Historical Trend
Here you select the datapoints to be trended. The values of the selected datapoints
are continuously saved in the ARENA database. This collection of trend data occurs
in the background.
NOTE: Historical trend is possible on all levels (station, site, controller, etc.) and in
connected and disconnected states of ARENA.

Arena Editor
The graphic user interface is independent of the site tree in ARENA although it can
consist of multiple hierarchical levels. There are built-in intelligent drawing elements
which allow you to create interactive system graphics in which you can display and
change values. System graphics typically show the application, including boilers,
heat pumps, water pipes, etc. and attached intelligent display fields which will show
the actual datapoint or setting values in ARENA. System graphics can be enhanced
with animated pictures created with the help of the ARENA Editor. Hierarchical
levels can be linked using linking hotspots. Real images can be imported for
getting a more picturesque style.
ARENA Editor is not necessary for the function of ARENA, but makes the operation
of complex systems easier and more comfortable.
ARENA Editor will take care of ARENA graphics for navigation and display. The
work done with ARENA Editor will be imported into ARENA in order to work in the
